libraries</a> to raise $1,794,453 to cover the costs of publishing <a href="http://voices.revealdigital.com/cgi-bin/independentvoices?a=p&p=home&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------------1">
Independent Voices</a>, the premier, and soon to be open access, digital collection of underground press and literary magazine titles from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. A sizable group of LYRASIS members contributed to Independent Voices, and together with Reveal
Digital we achieved something that will make a lasting and accessible contribution to scholarly communication. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">While North American fundraising is essentially complete, Reveal Digital will continue to source and digitize content for Independent Voices. The latest major addition
to the collection is the <i><a href="http://voices.revealdigital.com/cgi-bin/independentvoices?a=cl&cl=CL1&sp=BFGHCGB&ai=1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------------1" target="_blank">East Village Other (EVO)</a></i>, one of the original of five Underground
Press Syndicate titles (the other four are already in Independent Voices). Contributors can expect to see a newsletter next month with more updates and an in-depth look at the historical significance of <i>EVO</i>.

<span style="color:black">Newspapers from the rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s</span></span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Reveal Digital is now funding a new open access project! From its birth immediately following the Civil War to its re-awakening inspired by the film
<i>Birth of a Nation</i> in 1915 through today’s fractured organizations using the Klan’s name, the Ku Klux Klan has occupied a persistent place in American society. To understand today’s alt-right driven version of American nationalism, we need to go back
to the 1920s when the Klan re-emerged as a slick and successful recruiting and marketing engine that appealed to the fears and aspirations of middle-aged, middle-income, white protestant men in the middle of America. At its peak in 1924, Klan paid membership
exceeded 4,000,000 and its national newspaper, the <i>Imperial Night-Hawk</i>, had a circulation larger than
<i>the New York Times</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The goal of this project is to assemble a comprehensive and hopefully complete collection of KKK newspapers into a fully-searchable open access database. The collection
features national Klan publications (for example: the <i>Imperial Night-Hawk</i> and the
<i>Kourier</i>) as well as regional and local Klan produced papers (i.e., <i>Sgt. Dalton’s Weekly</i>,
<i>Jayhawker American</i>, and the <i>Minnesota Fiery Cross</i>). The collection will also include a smaller set of papers sympathetic to the Klan (i.e.,
<i>The Good Citizen</i> and <i>The Fellowship Forum</i>) and a few important anti-Klan publications (<i>Tolerance</i> and
<i>The Record</i>).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="Default" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Based on experiences from its launch in January of 2013, Reveal Digital is now in a position to further develop and enhance its funding model to become
even more aligned with libraries who are seeking to invest in and create collaborative open access digital collections.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Default" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The new investment fund will focus on the civil society, a public space between the state, the market, and the ordinary household, in which people can
debate, engage, and act. This inaugural digitization fund will invest in projects that embody the civil society; those non-governmental/non-commercial organizations that helped shape and guide America through two world wars, promoted equality across gender
and race, campaigned for worker rights, and voiced alternative social views that challenged and ultimately changed societal norms. Our focus will be on 20th century America with the liberty to extend the range based on the unique scope of each funded project.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The new model creates a way for libraries to support open access in a more strategic and sustainable way resulting in broader and more thematically-cohesive collections
that are proposed and selected by participating libraries. More information about the fund can be found
